At a constant rate of flow, it takes 20 minutes to fill a swimming pool if a large hose is used and 30 minutes if a small hose i

s used. At these constant rates, how many minutes will it take to fill the pool when both hoses are used simultaneously?

Answer: 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard Work Formula question (2 or more 'entities' that work on a task together). When there are just 2 entities and there are no 'twists' to the question, we can use the Work Formula to get to the correct answer.

Work = (A)(B)/(A+B) where A and B are the individual times needed to complete the task.

We're told that two hoses take 20 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively, to fill a pool. We're asked how long it takes the two hoses, working together, to fill the pool.

(20)(30)/(20+30) = 600/50 = 12 minutes to fill the pool.

Answer:

\displaystyle \\\left(\frac{49}{900},\frac{3761}{900}\right) or approximately (0.544, 4.179)

Step-by-step explanation:

A function and its tangent lines intersect when their slopes are the same. Find the x-coordinate when the slope of f(x) is equal to 8/7 by taking the derivative of f(x):

\displaystyle\\f(x)=\sqrt{x}-x+4\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}-1=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}-1

Set f'(x) equal to 8/7 and solve for x:

\displaystyle \\\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}-1=\frac{8}{7},\\x=\frac{49}{900}

Therefore, f(x) will intersect at a point of tangency with a line of slope 8/7 at x=49/900. Plug in x=49/900 into f(x) to get the y-coordinate:

\displaystyle\\y=\sqrt{x}-x+4 \vert_{x=49/900}=\frac{3761}{900}

⇒Answer: (49/900, 3761/900) or approximately (0.544, 4.179)
